The State Secretariat for Democratic Memory and the Centre for Political and Constitutional Studies (CEPC) have launched the Democratic Memory collection.

This collection, which will be possible thanks to the agreement between the two institutions, aims to reap the fruits of research on memory and democratization as a channel to understand our present and aims to study the path towards democracy, its advances and its obstacles.

The collection as a whole shows an integrative vision that in its theme does not only cover the scope of History. The monographs include areas ranging from Political Sociology to Philosophy through Social Anthropology and Law. In this regard, special attention will be paid to the analysis of the attempts to consolidate democracy in Spain, its achievements and failures, as well as the recognition and violations of rights.

On the other hand, and in line with the global policy of the Secretary of State, these monographs will also address proposals for the reconstruction of memory and initiatives for the recognition and reparation of victims. All this from a globalizing vocation, open to the international comparative dimension and with a transversal approach to gender.

This informative work aims to extend and guarantee in the citizenry the understanding both of the historical processes of democratization, its advances, obstacles and limits and of the struggle for values and freedoms and respect for human dignity.

The monographs that are integrated into this collection will be published in digital format and will also be put on sale on paper, with the modality of printing on demand.

The collection is directed by Encarnación Lemus López, professor of Contemporary History at the University of Huelva, which is supported by an Advisory Council formed by Manuel Reyes Mate of the CSIC; Ana Aguado of the (University of Valencia; Gutmaro Gómez, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Leyre Burguera, of the UNED.
